Memory's of 86/87, Friday, Sat, riding the big met up and down, tagging the fuck out of anything in sight, meeting up with who ever was about, going to the yards, fighting, stealing, getting chased by the BTP, staying out all night walking the tracks, racking paint,Beer, ETC...something to do wasn't it. The golden age, big up to desire, tilt, cast, hyde, set 3,coma, kiss 42,nice1, huz,mane,etc.

i can wait until time travel is made, ima live in this era for the rest of my days.

I was born in London back in July 1974 where I still live. Because I was born with a disability I had to visit hospitals regularly since birth, for my hospital visits I would always travel on the Underground, so by the time I was 3 years old I had developed a love for the Underground, I absolutely loved the old aluminium coloured Underground trains which I sorely miss. I loved seeing graffiti on the old trains. Unfortunately modern Underground trains look pristine and sterile thus are seriously lacking in character.

Big Met late 80's golden era ! Big up Fiasko

86-89 were the prolific years on the London trains. Big Met got smashed

these were the good times!! same old kats on those trains bombing, such a great period for underground graffiti, i spent most of 89-90 riding the line pretty much every day and into the night, and early hours (and before anyone gets clever ive done my stint in the slammer) so no good shopping me!! used to run with lots of these kats back in the day, all from different walks of life and all with a different story to tell..fucking loved every minute of it! peace SIGHER THE TROUBLED CHILDREN

Without doubt this is the most enjoyable graff vid i have seen,i love it,all the Writers from London from back in the day,ace vid!!!

around 93-94 was the time i started bombing... always when i watch these era's flicks, makes me want to go timetravel. :S gosh, its been 20fucking years, still having the urge. never stop!

cant imagine what it must be like to have missed all this....I been on this planet since 70, so got to live thro u gh all these Golden times!!

17.27.. yea remember ridin the old train, pullin open the door while movin on the wall side of station to get that reach.. good old times

i feel for u im 15yr older but its changed soooo much since 2002ish it all started and people resisted but they gradually brought in all the surveillance anyway and sold off almost everything to foreign investors.. u could still buy shrooms n ket in camden from 10 different shops until 2001ish i saw it all was too young to try at the time tho.. u go back to early90s and 80s there was no speed cameras no bumps anywhere everyone was free not just the wealthy like these days.. i kinda see it as 2 classes masters and slaves the rich private school types then the 'normal' ppl.. i fully believe brexit was done to trap the poor here so all us younger lot dont run away to Spain or france or sumin now its getting so bad here, the rich are unaffected they can get visa to travel or live anywhere but you need enough savings trapping majority of us here now cos they need us as staff, servants of their coffe, hookers and all the other roles they consider beneath them.. the ulez too dont get me started it such a huuuuuge area no longer can anyone get a nice cheap old car to commute or pick kids up etc like who really can afford brand new especially for young drivers 1st car.. its essentially really badly limiting their freedom to socialise work and live a normal life in general for millions of ppl crazy

sorry thats a downer it has changed so quickly tho we used to jus leave the house and go look for our mates at usual hangouts if u found no1 other things mite happen while your out meet new ppl or see cool stuff it was so much better than feeling like social media has everyone tracked it just was so much more human.. i will say at least you arent a man no offence but you have a really good chance of making a great life doors will literally open for you lol men born poor generally have 1 shot to get enough money and everything in order to be worth marrying and if u mess up big at any point then u wont hav enough years left to get it all done so u end up 30 or 40 knowing youl die alone and irrelevant you can be soooo assured that you dont risk that happening seriously just all i can say is get out in person 7 days a week as long as possible around work etc. and build bridges with ppl try not burn any networking is key getting a good life is all about who u know intelligence sadly took a back seat in the 60s so having wealthy successful ppl in your presence will expose you to a world of new opportunity all the best highest paying jobs and you shouuld be able to find your way into almost any carreer just by being friends men cant do that so might as well use it lol unless yod rather find a husband instead of a career then same thing but network focusing on good people instead of good oppurtunitys and ofcourse dont act like a G boss chick lol but be calmly confident and you will have soo many opportunities knocking your door just gota get out n explore, maybe grab a E bike/scooter if u dont have a car i tried 1 today ther not bad tbh i used to travel soo many miles every since i was like 14 jus on a normal bike to go search for my m8s every day cos they lived a few postcodes over just in essex i started early tho tbh anyway waffling stoned sorry i hope this may help in some way encourage you to have as much time out living life as possible cos u really gota try make most of your prime its all downhill after 30 lol 🤣🤣 jk lol is for men tho if wev had a major setback 30 is like game over "oh so i guess il just sit and wait to die now then" lol best of luck in this crazy antisocial dystopia, have you seen idiocracy? feels like we r halfway there to what happens in that film already lol chek it out if u not seen it its jokes ... peace homie good luck dream big you can do anything if you really believe confidently enuf go live ur movie you are the protagonist they want everyone watching content 24 7 not really living in the moment like we used to, it affected older ppl than me bigtime so i cat even imagine what it was like for your generation like its reprogrammed some even so being born with smartphones about must be causing a huuuge change in our kids brains development like ??surely peace homie oh and tbh now chat gpt is out public we could be seeing some huge changes ✌👍✊

Freshhh!

used to love watching this in the 90's before going out bombing! used to get me all rev ved up!

good upload :)

I've still got this on VHS. What are all the old DDS guys up to these days? I remember RATE saying he'd been to prison 10 times for graf, on the 'Kings and Toys' documentary, wasn't it? That's crazy, considering you don't make any money from the crime. It's a bit like football hooliganism.

golden age of graffiti

@mightyflux I just wish id taken more flix back then!, but like a lot of my generation of writers we really thought things would be that way forever!!

Ahh the good old days i started in the late 80s i used to roll with HELL , CREZ , STEAM , UNI , MANE , QUEST , ARTIST , REMIX cant remember the rest, i remember going on a train jam meeting up at Piccadilly with writers from all over London and jumping on the big met and bombing the shit out of it if you were there you know Salute !

GOLDEN AGE ! !! !!!

I do find it funny tho how most of the time, all u graffiti people went for the Circle Line trains, were they the easiest ones to get to?

During this period, the metropolitan (big Met) was hit in the 80’s but yards became too hot

Now it's mostly used by city types, bankers, suits etc.

Anyone know name of track at 18:25?

@Whirlytunes Thanks for posting this. Since I already know what graffiti was like in New York City I've always wondered how graffiti was in the London Underground. By the way do you know the name of the track at 48:19-51:10?

first track is EPMD - The Big payback, not sure if it;'s an instrumental mix or a recording of a DJ cutting between 2 copies.

Where can I download/buy this?

Remember plenty on "big met" in late 80's

52: 30 looks like the same area where Wants was years ago on the LT doc

New York City had the same problem in the 70s and early 80s until '89 followed by scratchiti in the 90s

That tune at 13:00 anyone knows the name and the mc’s

i remember the times when the majority of the old tubes were bombed,insides & out,mad tracksides & bombed stations & the emergency stairways read like an a to z of london writers.....that was around about 1990 *i was 16* & then the razorwire & mass cctv appeared......fun times but you always got caught eventually! I dont think CAST ever did though.he came in,did his thing & got up loadz & then disappeared like a ghost.....
